WHOLESALE PRICES OF COMMODITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. 



1840-1901. 



The series of tables contained in this document is a continuation of the tables published in the Summary of Commerce and Finance, 
May, 1900. Two changes have been made to which attention is called, namely, (1) the addition of a series of tables of prices of farm 
products, and (2) the omission of certain tables of prices of articles whose relative importance has greatly diminished or whose place in the 
market has been taken by other grades of the same general class, thus making it necessary in some cases to discard the purpose of 
securing continuous quotations for that particular grade of commodity. In other cases, where continuity in quotations has been deemed 
important, any change in the grade to which quotations apply has been plainly indicated, so as to avoid any possibility of misleading. 

The quotations of wholesale prices in the United States as they appear in these tables are, in most cases, reproduced from the 
results of the extensive inquiry made by the Aldrich committee and subsequent inquiries made by the Department of Labor. The first 
of these results is generally known as the Aldrich Report on Wholesale Prices, Wages, and Transportation, as submitted by Mr. Aldrich 
from the Senate Committee on Finance, INIarch 3, 1893. This report covered the period from 1840 to 1891, and comprised 223 quotations 
of different articles and grades, derived in a great majority of cases from records of actual sales by firms in existence during all or most 
of that period. 

The later inquiries by the Department of Labor covered the period from 1890 to 1901, inclusive, continuing, as a rule, the same general 
classes of articles represented in the Aldrich report, but adding some quotations for farm products. With this addition the same general 
series was brought down to the end of 1901. These results appeared in detail in Bulletin No. 27, March, 1900, and in Bulletin No. 39, 
March, 1902, of the Department of Labor. 

Information derived from other sources than the Aldrich report or the bulletins of the Department of Labor is credited in footnotes 
to the proper authorities. This applies especially to cases in which prices have been brought down to a later date than October, 1901, 
the latest quotations given by the Department of Labor. For information as to the sources of data from which prices for the years prior 
to 1891 were obtained, reference should be made to Part II, Table XI, Wholesale Prices of Commodities for Fifty-two Years, in Volume 
II of the Aldrich report, also known as Senate Report No. 1394, Part 2, 1893. 

Unless otherwise specified, prices quoted are those prevailing at New York for the dates given. In accordance with the plan followed 
in selecting the earlier quotations, the prices given for October, 1899, are those prevailing and thereafter at the beginning of each quarter 
year. 

The tables following include a variety of standard articles in each of eight leading classes of commodities, as follows: 
Food, etc. Fuel and lighting. 

Farm products. Lumber and building materials. 

Metals and implements. Drugs and chemicals. 

Cloths and clothing. House-furnishing goods. 

FOOD, ETC. 
BEAKS: MEDIUM, CHOICE.

WHOLESALE PlilOES OF COMMODITLES IN THE TINITED STATES. 



101 



COURSE OF RELATIVE PRICES FROM 1840 TO 1901, INCLUSIVE. 

Relative prices in the United States for this period of years liave been worked out on two different bases. For the period from 1840 
to 1891, covered by the Aldrich report, prices were calculated from the level of the year 1800 as a basis. For the period between 1890-1901, 
covered by the Department of Labor, the calculation was made on the basis of the average price for the period 1890-1899. In each case 
100 has been taken as the starting point to show the rise or fall from this assumed level. Each one of the results is given separately, 
inasmuch as each included a different number of conimodities in its calculation, besides working from different bases. 

The movement of prices in Great Britain for different groups of commodities has regularly appeared in the form of index numbers 
in the annual reports before the Royal Statistical Society of London, by A. Sauerbeck. Still another series of index numbers from the 
London Economist has been used to show price movements under a different grouping from that employed in Sauerbeck's index 
numbers. 

ALDRICH REPORT ON COURSE OF RELATIVE PRICES FROM 1840 TO 1891. INCLUSIVE. 

In the following table of relative prices of groups, the prices of the year 1860 are taken as a basis ( =100), and the rise or fall in price 
from this given base is expressed in form of relative prices or percentages. By this means the comparison of a large number of objects 
varying greatly in units of measurement as well as in price is rendered possible. The relative price of a group i-epresents a simple 
arithmetical average of relative prices for all the articles constituting the particular group. Thus, for instance, in the case of group 
"Food" the sum of the relative jirices for all the commodities constituting this group for the year 1891 — 5,507.1— was divided by the 
number of articles comprised in this group — 53. The result of this division — 103.9 — represents the relative price for this group. 

The relative price for all articles is found in a similar manner by dividing the sum total of all relative prices by the total number of 
articles. 

Currency jirices, during the period when gold was at a premium, have been reduced to a gold basis. In converting currency prices 
into gold the currency value of 5*100 in gold, as given for January of eat'h year in the American Almanac for 1878, was as follows: 1862, 
$102.5; 1863, $145.1; 1864, 81.55.5; 1865, $216.2; 1866, $140.1; 1867, f!134.6; 1868, $138.5; 1869, $135.6; 1870, $121.3; 1871, $110.7; 1872, 
103.1; 1873, $112.7; 1874, $111.4; 1875, $112.5; 1876, $112.8; 1877, $106.2, and 1878, $101.4.

WHOLESALE PlilCES OF COMMODITIES m THE UNITED STATES. 



[JlLY, 



DEPARTMENT OF LABOR REPORT ON COURSE OF RELATIVE RRICES FROM i8go TO 1901, INCLUSIVE. 

[u the following table similar comniodities have been grouped, and the average of the relative prices shown for the comtnodities in 
each subjjroup and in each of the nine general groups. The averages in all ca.se.'i were found by dividing the sum of the relative prices ' 
by the n\uiiber of commodities in the group under consideration. It should be borne constantly in mind that the term commodity is 
Used here and elsewhere in a specific sen.^e, "native" and ''Western" sheep, for example, being considered different commodities. Tlie 
method of securing average i-elative prices in this and other tables was as follows: The average relati\e price of cattle was found by 
adding the relative prices of the two grades of cattle and dividing tlie sum by 2. The average for hogs was found in the same manner, 
and also the average for sheep. The average for live stock was found by dividing the sum of the relative prices of the two grades of 
cattle, the two grades of hogs, and the two grades of sheep by 6, the total number of different descrijitions of commodities or series of 
fpi stations in the live-stock group. The average relative prices of each of the nine general groups were found by dividinj^ the sum of the 
relafive i)rices of the different descriptions of commodities for each year by the number of those commodities or series of quotations 
considered in that year. The sum of the relative prices in 1890 of the commodities shown under the general group, "Food, etc.," for 
exami«le, is 5,9.5.S.2, which amount divided by 5.'>, thci^ nniober of different descriptions of commodities or scries of quotations considered 
that year, gives 112.4 as the average for the group "Food, etc.," for 1890. For 1803 to 1901, fifty-four commodities are quoted in this 
group, and t!iat number is accordingly the divisor for each of those years. 

The average relative prices of each of the nine general groups for each year of the period, and the average relative prices of all 
commodities for each year, are shown in the following summary:

In this table the average relative prices of farm products are based on 10 Tirticles; of food, etc., on f)?/ articles from 1890 to 1892, and 
.5-1 from 1,893 to 1901; of cloths and clothing, on 70 articles in 1890 and 1891, 72 in 1892, 73 in 1893 and 1894, 75 in 189.5 and 189G, and 76 
from 1S97 to 1901; of fuel and lighting, on 13 articles; of metals and implements, on 37 articles from 1890 to 1893, 38 in 1894 and 1893 
and from 1899 to 1901, and 39 from 1896 to 1898; of lumber and building materials, on 26 articles from 1890 to 1894, and 27 from 1895 to 
1901 ; of drags and chemicals, on 9 articles; of house-furnishing goods, on 14 articles; and of miscellaneous, on 13 articles. The average 
relative prices of all commodities are based on 251 articles in 1890 and 1891, on 253 in 1892, on 255 in 1893, on 256 in 1894, on 259 in 1895, 
on 2t)0 in 1896 and from 1899 to 1901, and on 2G1 in 1897 and 1898. 

A study of the table shows that the group of fann products reached the low-est average in 1896 and the highest in 1891; that of food, 
etc., the lowest in 1,896 and the highest in 1891; that of cloths and clothing, the lowest in 1897 and the highest in 1890; that of fuel and 
lighting, the lowest in 1891 and the highest in 1900; that of metals and implements, the lowest in 1898 and the highest in 1900; that of 
lumber and building materials, the lowest in 1897 and the highest in 1901; that of drugs and chemicals, the lowest in 1895 and the 
liighest in 1900; that of house-furnishing goods, the lowest in 1897 and the highest in 1890; while in the miscellaneou.= group the lowest 
average was reached in 1S!)6 ami the highest hi 1890. The average for all the commodities combined was the lowest in 1897 and the 
highest ill IS'.K). (Vf the nine groups it is seen that one reached its lowest point in 1894, one in 1895, three in 1896, three in 1897, and 
one in ISSS. The highest point was reached by three groups in 1890, by two in 1891, by three in 1900, and by one in 1901.

PRICES AND THE COST OF LIVING IN MASSACHUSETTS. 

[From the Thirty-second Annual Report of the Massncliu&etts Bureau of Statistics of Labor, pp. 239-311.] 
COMPARISON OF PRICES. 

The change in the price level eince 1S97 has made it advisable to present the statistics, contained in this part, relating to the retail 
prices of such commodities as are of ordinary household consumption in the families of workiugmen. The figures cover retail prices in 
the different towns and cities in the Commonwealth in which considerable numbers of persons are employed in manufacturing industries, 
and they were obtained by the special agents of the bureau from establishments largely patronized by working people. The prices, 
therefore, represent average quotations for rent, board, and the various articles of household consumjjtion. Similar statistics have been 
collected by the bureau from time to time, beginning with 1860, the last preceding summary having been published in our report for 1897. 
We are, therefore, able to present comparative figures, collected in the same manner at different periods, and to note the variation either 
upward or downward at the present time, that is to say, April, 1902. 

The first table covers average retail prices, with quotations for 1872, ISSl, 1897, and 1902, for certain standard articles clas.sificd as 
groceries, provisions, fuel, dry goods, and boots, and also for rents and board. The table also shoviS the increase or decrease in 1902 as 
compared v.-ith 1897, the latest preceding figure.

WORKINGMEN'S EXPENSE BUDGETS. 

Below are presented the results of an inquiry into the expenses of 10^ families which may be termed normal, consisting of father, 
mother, and immediately dependent relatives, members of the family circle, princijially minor children, subject to parental control, 
although in some cases contributing by their earnings to the family income. In order that we may analyze the income and expenditurea 
of these normal families, wdiose income is based upon the labor of the family members and not obtained in part by taking boarders or 
lodgers, we confine the next presentation entirely to them, arranging the families in five groups, according to the graded scale of income.

The percentage of expenditure for subsistence (principally food) is, as might be expected, highest in the class having lowest 
income, and diminishes, as income increases, although showing no great variation, except that nearly identical percentages are found in 
the classes having incomes from $450 to $600 and above $1,200, respectively. The classes having largest incomes have the smallest 
percentages of expenditure for fuel and light and rent and the largest for clothing. As incomes increase, the proi^ortionate expenditure 
for education, church, societies, newspapers, etc., and for the care of health, insurance, and especially for the sundry expenses classed 
as for comfort, mental and bodily recreation, etc., increase. That is, as income permits, expenditures are enlarged in the directions 
indicating a higher standard of living, rather than entirely reserved as surplus or savings. As in 1875, the results of the present investi- 
gation support fairly well the first and last propositions of the so-called law of expenditure, formulated by Dr. Engel of Prussia, but do 
not entirely agree with the others." 

Dr. Engel's theory was based on Prussian experience, confirmed in a general way by the similar investigations of Ducpetiaux in 
Belgium and Le Play in France and German districts bordering upon it, in Switzerland, and in Savoy. It is of course true, and the 
distinction is perhaps more marked to-day than in 1875, that there is far less imiformity in the character of the clothing worn liy work- 
ingmen in this country than abroad, and also in the conditions under which they are housed; and this, no doubt, accounts in a measure 
for the differences in the percentile distribution of expenses under those heads. 

The percentages for the different income classes reported in 1875 and at present compare as follows:

The percentages of expenditure for food show a decline in each group, except in that with income above $1,200. The percentage 
expended for clothing appears unduly low in the lowest income class in 1875, the peculiarity being caused no doubt by some exceptional 
circumstance affecting one or more of the comparatively few families in this class in the year referred to. The percentages indicate a 
comparatively uniform proportionate expense for clothing in the families with incomes from $450 to $750, and also in the families with 
incomes from $750 to $1,200 or more. In the first two groups the percentage expenditure for clothing is higher than in 1875. The 
percentage expenditure for rent is lower in two of the groups and higher in the others than in 1875, and that for expenses outside of 
food^ clothing, and rent considerably higher in all. 



a Dr. Engel's propositions are as follows: 

First. The greater the income, the smaller the relative percentage of outlay for subsistence. (To this the highest class shown in the table forms an exception. ) 

Second. The percentage of outlay for clothing is approximately the same, whatever the income. (This is confirmed in the second and third classes as com- 
pared with each other and also in the fourth and fifth classes as compared with each other, but not confirmed in general.) 

Third. The percentage of outlay for lodging or rent and for fuel and light is invariably the same, whatever the income. (Confirmed in the second and third 
classes as compared with each other, but not confirmed in general.) 

Fourth. As income increases, the percentage of outlay for sundries becomes greater. (Fully confirmed.)

nThe index number of all the groups of articles as given in the table was 100, for the years 1867-1877. This number is exactly the same as the average 
number ft)r the t\v<>nty-tive years from 1863 to 1877, during which time the new gold discoveries appear to have had an effect upon prices. Therefore a comparison 
of Ihe aggregate prices of all commodities in a certain year with the eleven years from 1867 to 1877 is equivalent to a comparison of the whole twenty-five years 
from l.Sd3 lo 1877. 

''Silver 60.8ld. per ounce = 100. 

I- Wheat harvest in the United Kingdom, 1878-1883, 28 bushels per acre = 100; from 1884, 29 bushels = 100. 

('Consols and bank rate actual figures, not index numbers; consols 2J per cent from 1889. 

The index number for all commodities was 70, against 75 in 1900, or 7 per cent lower. It was 30 per cent below the standard period 
of 1867-1877, and llj jicr cent below the ten years 1878-1887, but G per cent above the average of the last ten years. As compared with 
1896, the lowest year on record, the rise amounted still to 15 per cent. 

The fall last year was mainly due to minerals and textiles, to sugar, coffee, and tea. Corn, meat, and sundry materials were, on the 
average, practically the same, slightly lower prices for wheat, rice, beef, and mutton having been balanced by higher prices for maize, 
oats, pork, and butter.

a The twelve monthly figures of each year do not in all cases exactly (in the decimals) agree with the annual averages, the latter having been calculated in part 
from revised figures. 

With the exception of a sliglit rally in August, the monthly number went steadily down, and stood at the end of the year 7 per cent 
lower than in December, 1900. 

Taking articles of food and materials separately, the index numbers compare thus (1867-1877=100) :

Corn experienced a rise for maize and oats, and a fall for rice and potatoes, while tlte fluctuations in wheat and barley were 
unimjiortant. In the second group, beef and mutton were lower, pork and butter on the average higher, but butter ruled at the end of the 
year lower than a twelvemonth ago. Sugar fell heavily, beet from 9s. Id. to 63. 6d., Java from 12s. 9d. to 9s., and French loaves from 13s- 
to 10s. 3d. per hundredweight, and the last-named prices were the lowest on record. Coffee was on the average also lower than in 1900' 
but while declining up to July, recovered considerably later on, and stood at the end higher than a year ago. The lower classes 
of tea were very depressed, and the average annual import price — 7|d. per pound — is the lowest on record. For metals generally the 
tendency wag downward throughout the year. Scotch pig iron fell from 60s. to 49s., hematite from 63s. 9d. to 55s. 5d. per ton, standard 
copper from £72| to £48J, and lead from £16| to £10| per ton. Tin had great fluctuations; it declined in the first quarter from £121i to 
£114, rose in July to £131, and closed at £106 per ton. Best house coal in London fell from 23s. in December, 1900, to 17s. in June, and 
rose again to 20s. 6d. per ton. The average export price of coal was 13s. lOd., against 16s. 9d. in 1900. Among textiles, cotton had a 
gradual fall from 5W. for middling American to 4Y5d. per pound; flax was high during the greater part of the year, but declined toward 
the end; jute and silk were lower at the end, but Manila hemp rose from £29j in December, 1900, to £46 per ton in December, 1901. 
Fine wool was firm and nearly 10 per cent higher at the end, but English and colonial coarse wool declined from 20 to 35 per cent, and 
the prices at the end of the year were the lowest on record — Lincoln hogs 7fd. and wethers 4|d. per pound. In the group of "sundry 
materials," hides and leather were well maintained; tallow and petroleum were higher at the end; linseed oil showed little change and 
was still comparatively dear, but wood was cheaper.

"The four quarterly figures of eaeh year do not in all cases exactly (in the decimals^ agree with the animal averages, as the latter are partly calculated from 
revised figures. (See Journal of Royal Statistical Society, 1893, p. 221; 1895, p. 141; and 1900, p. 90.) 
('Silver OO..Sld. per ouncc=100. 

The quarterly numbers show the average of three monthly fii^ures, and by thus eliminatin.g minor fluctuations they give a more 
reliable comparison of the gradual changes of the various groups of commodities. Last }'ear's figures indicate the gradual fall of food 
products, principally influenced by the third group (sugar, coffee, and tea), andalso of materials generally, the latter ruled by the strong 
decline of minerals, and to a small extent by weaker prices of textiles, while sundry materials were slightly better in the second half of 
the year. 

The foll'iwing figures show in each case the average index numbers of all the forty-five commodities for ten years (see the dotted 
line in the diagram of the Journal, 1886, p. 648, and also the Journal, 1893, p. 220) ; they give the l)est j^icture of the gradual movement 
of the average prices of whole periods, as the ordinary fluctuations are still further obliterated:

It will be seen that during the four yeai-s 1896-1899 the two countries absorbed between 16 and 30 per cent of the total production. 
In 1900 the coinage of silver in Russia was very small, and the quantity taken in 1901 was also quite uniuiportant, while in Spain the 
coinage of 5-peseta pieces has been entirely stopped. From 1900 to 1901 we had, on the other hand, the great currenc'v demand for 
India, where the net amount coined (withdrawn pieces deducted) reached about 150,000,000 rupees during the financial year, equal to 
51,500,000 fine ounces, being nearly 30 per cent of the total silver production of the world. This demand ceased in April, liut tho 
quantity of silver exported to India for other purposes remained on a large scale. 

It may be useful to compare these figures, as no extra demand of any importance for coinage pui'poses can now be expected, all 
countries with an effective or nominal gold standard having much greater stocks of silver than they require, particularly the United 
States, France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Holland, Germany, and Austria. The production of silver has, therefore, to depend solely on the 
industrial demand, on the coinage of tokens, and on the absorption by India and China.

MOVEMENT OF TIUCES IN GEEAT BEITAIN. 



[July, 



TIk" average rates in 1895 were the lowest on record; those in 1900 were the highest since 1873. Last year's average shows a very 
considerable reduction, the private rate having fallen froni3| per cent to 2J per cent. 

The pa.st year differed widely from its two predecessors. Tlie great trade activity in Kurojie liad received a cheek in the second 
half of 1900, which made further progress in 1901, and caused depression in many branches. There were certain occurrences which had 
a more or less unfavoralilo influence, such as the death of the Queen in January, the continuation of the war in South Africa, with its 
great expenditure, resulting in increased taxation, and the difliculties in China, now fortunately settled, but the main factor was the 
natural I'eaction from a period of great buoyancy. This reaction was i)articularly felt in tlie country that had experienced the greate.>^t 
development during the last decade — Germany. 

The export trade of the United Kingdom showed a decline, though not a very important one, everything considered. The outturn 
of the shipbuilding yards was still very large, but the engineering industries were on the whole in a less favorable position. The 
cotton, flax, and silk industries were unsatisfactory. The tine wool industry was busy, though profits were not great, but the trade in 
coarse wools was very depres.fed. The wheat liarvest in several European countries was smaller, but large in the United States, while 
tlic failure of the mai/e crop in the latter country raised prices of feeding stuffs. The sugar and coffee crops were of unprecedented 
magnitude and seriously affected values. Wages are declining in several branches, and the number of unemployed has increased 
everywhere. 

Unlike European countries, the United States enjoyed continued prosperity, leading to a further great boom in railway and 
industrial shares; but matters there have now reached such a height that the position is not free from danger. 

It is not improbable that the present year will again see some improvement, but we must not expect too much. Liquidation will 
still go on in those countries and trades which have suffered most, and when all the losses are ascertained, confidence will probably 
return, and this will lead to renewed activity. If the South African war should at last be concluded and the working of the mines 
now partly opened become again more normal, it may, as is generally expected, have a great influence on trade; but it may also be 
that the effect will not be so great as might have been the case in 1900 or even in 1901. The boom is over, and experience teaches us 
that it always takes some time, often years, before a new period of great activity recommences. 

The arithmetical mean of the forty-five index numbers, which is 70 (against 75 in 1900), has, as in former years, again been subject 
to two tests: 

Firstly, by using the same index numbers of the separate articles, but calculating each article according to its importance in the 
United Kingdom on the average of the three years 1894-1896, when the mean for 1901 is 69.S, against 76.0 in 1900 and 67.0 in 1899; or, 
on the average of the five years 1871-1875, when the mean for 1901 is 69.5, against 75.3 in 1900 and 66.3 in 1899. 

Secondly, by calculating the quantities in the United Kingdom at their actual values (the production on the basis of my i)rice 
tables, the imports at Board of Trade values, and consequently a considerable portion according to a different set of prices) and at the 
nominal values on the liasis of the average prices from 1867-1877. In this case the mean is 72.1, against 78.3 in 1900 and 67.3 in 1899. 
The figures for 1900 and 1901 are liigher in this calculation than the ordinary index numbers, and this is principally due to the high 
export price of coal — an article of such enormous importance in this country — but partly also to the declared values of imports ha\'ing 
been higher than those afterwards realized. The following table gives the figures which have served for the second test (see also the 
Society's Journal, 1886, pp. 613-619):

The total declared value last year was H per cent less than in the preceding year, but the total quantity, as illustrated by the third 
column — values at prices in 1873 — was 2| percent larger. It will be observed that since 1873 quantities have doubled, while the actual 
value is only 28 per cent larger. The index number in this table is only reduced by 3 points, or about 4 jier cent, against 5 points in 
the case of the ordinary arithmetical index number. As pointed out last year, the influence of the great commodity coal is much less 
in this table, which contains only the exports — about 44,009,000 tons — than in the preceding calculations, where the total production — 
say 225,000,000 tons— is included". 

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TABLES. 

The table of index numbers is based on the average prices of the eleven years 1867-1877, and the index numbers have been calcu- 
lated in the ordinary arithmetical way; for instance, English wheat: — 

Average, 1867-1877. 54s. 6d. equal 100, average point. 

Average, 1855, 74s. 8d. equal 137, or 37 per cent above the average point. 

Average, 1901, 26s. 9d. equal 49, or 51 per cent below the average point. 

The index numbers, therefore, represent simple percentages of the average point. Certain articles which appear to have something 
in common have been grouped together, with the following result: 



COMMODITIES IN GROUP. 




1. Vegetable food (corn, etc.— wheat, flour, barley, oats, maize, potatoes, and rice) With 8 index numbers . 

2. Animal food (beef, mutton, porl;, bacon, and butter) ] With 7 index numliers .

WHOLESALE PRICES, 1845-1901— PROPORTIONATE RESULTS. 

Deduced from the preceding tables on the basis of representing by the number 100 the average prices of the six years 1845-18.50. 

The construction is as follows: The basis of 100 represents the average prices of the six years 1845-18.50, and all the subsequent 
figures are calculated from that datum line. Thus aa regards coffee (column 1), the price of 1st July, 1857, was equal to 151, or 51 per 
cent above the average prices of 1845-1850. In order to ascertain the percentage rise or fall between one date and another — as, for 
example, coffee — comparing 1st July, 1857, when the figure was 151, with 1st January, 1894, when the figure was 179, or a difference of 
28, the rise per cent has to be measured with the quantity 151, and given, of course, a result of 23 per cent as the real advance. In the 
course of so long a period of years since 1845 some variations have inevitably arisen in the mode of quoting prices in the usual Prices 
Current. In all such cases the nearest approach possible has been made to a uniform quotation throughout the table. In raw cotton 
especially there have been considerable changes of qualities introduced by the large use of Indian and Egyptian kin<ls. In tea, sugar, 
and wool also changes have occurred in the kinds most usually quoted. 

[The column "Total index number " is the total for each dat« of all the percentage columns except that of the "Bank-note circula- 
tion." The "Total index number" does not, of course, present a full and accurate representation of the variations of prices, inasmuch 
as it can not allow for the relative importance of the different articles. Wheat, for example, reckons for no more in the "Total index 
number" than indigo; and during the years of the high price of cotton and cotton fabrics the total index number is, in a measure, 
unduly raised by that special cause. Still the total index number, read with the needful qualifications, may afford important inferences.]
